No one likes getting locked into using one brand for everything on a rack, especially if it means you end up with cards that are less than ideal for a specific task.
You want to have the freedom to choose the best card in each situation, and that’s why openGear continues to be so popular.
While at NAB 2023, Darren Ward from Ross Video caught up with Matt Robbins from KITPLUS to talk about the Ross offerings within the openGear platform, including 4 new 12G SDI cards:
- SFC-6901, a quad channel fiber card that allows you to completely define the deck directionality to use in many different ways
- TES-8943 VANC processor, which replaces a very popular older card and adds 12G support for embedding, de-embedding, and VANC data processing, so it’s a very versatile problem-solver card
- SHC-8932-F, an SDI to HDMI converter that’s perfect for large displays where you have a lot of different feeds. It’s a dual path card that provides you with an automatic switchover in the event of a problem in order to keep your HDMI signals alive.
- SRA-8901-R relay bypass protection switch for your most critical revenue-generating feeds, so even if the frame loses power, this card will drop over to a bypass signal and keep you on air.
